Ian, Not so much to the tenth, more to the half thou. I'm really trying to get it close to the nearest thousandth, and if it's within a half thou of that measurement, it's close enough. There's two blades cutting at the same time on either side of the strip, so it shouldn't pull too much to one side or the other.
